Aeolos is reasonable - it ties into the "wind name" theme that ran through the internet tablets and phones.
However, I don't get the contention that Hildon is elitist in some way. (On a side note, what's wrong with "elite"? But I digress.)
Hildon actually refers to something that underlay the tablets and, at least, the N900 (not so sure how much survived in the N9.) It also lay beneath the S90 of the 7710 and may even have formed the basis of the 9500 Communicator UI.
There's history there, functionality there, demonstrated flexibility there. Real software created by real, and very creative, people. And any of us who had one (or more likely more - I've owned 5) of the devices supported by it got real value from it.
So, while I recognize Aeolos is applicable, it is abstract as has been pointed out. Hildon was and is real and much more a part of this suite of devices than the mythology.
Just my thoughts.
